about 15% of SORTEC’s business. “The
largest portion of our sales comes from

Ľuboš Bezák, “From our wholesale ac-

“The most requested dish sizes in
Slovakia are the 80cm and 90cm an-

reason for this is that for Slovakians the
more attractive channels can be found
on ASTRA at 23.5 east but there are
also many free-to-air (FTA) channels
on ASTRA at 19.2 east that they want
to see”, continues Ľuboš Bezák. That’s

monoblock LNBs so that both satellites
